This </font><font face="Arial">ABCD </font><font size="2"><font size="2"><font face="Arial">option</font></font></font> <font face="Arial">allows you to create value tables which will be displayed when opening the corresponding field entry.  The way in which the table is displayed will depend on the Input type allocated to the field in FDT (checkbox, option, select single, select multiple). The value tables are stored in the folder <strong>def</strong> in the selected database<br />
<br />
<strong>To create</strong><font size="2"> a new table type a name in the </font><strong>Name </strong> box, with a  <strong>.tab </strong>extension and then click on <strong>edit/create.</strong><br />
<strong>To display</strong> an existing table  click on the image <img alt="" src="../../php/dataentry/img/preview.gif" /> or on the corresponding table name.<br />
<br />
<strong>To edit</strong> an existing table click on the name </font><font size="2"><font face="Arial"> of the table </font></font><font face="Arial">and then click on <strong>edit/create.<br />
<br />
To assign </strong>an existing table to a field, click on the name of the table then click on <strong>update FDT</strong><br />
<br />
<font size="2"><strong>To delete</strong> an existing table click on the name of the table and then</font> click on <strong>delete</strong>. The table will be deleted from the folder, but it will remain associated with the respective field in the FDT so remember to also delete the entry in the FDT.<br />
<br />
The available tables list shows all the files with the </font><font size="2"><font face="Arial"><strong>.tab</strong></font></font> <font face="Arial">extension located in the <strong> def</strong> folder of the selected database.<br />
<br />
<strong>Table Creation/Editing<br />
<br />
</strong>Once the file name has been typed in the  <strong>Name</strong> box, click on  <strong>create/edit</strong>. The  selection will be shown in two columns  table: <strong>Code | Term</strong><br />
<br />
If only the <font size="2"><strong>term</strong></font> column is filled, the values placed in this column will be shown during the input process, and will be transferred to the corresponding field using the selection method for the appropriate type of <font size="2">input </font>field as defined in the FDT.<br />
<br />
If you want to transfer the code and the associated term, then the  field structure which will receive the <font size="2">value table </font>should have 2 subfields. The value of the corresponding code will be placed in the first subfield and in the second, the value of the corresponding term. Only the <font size="2"><strong>term</strong></font> column values will be shown during the input process, but the code and the term will be stored by using the corresponding subfields.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><font face="Arial">When the table editing is finished,  click on the  <strong>Update</strong> button to save the created/modified table and assign it to the corresponding field in the FDT.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><font face="Arial"><strong>Tip: </strong>To use an already defined table from database B, in a database A, precede the name of the Picklist with the absolute path of the location <br />
  of </font><font size="2"><font face="Arial">the table that you want to use.</font></font> <br />
